How to Make Sally S Key Lime Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
- Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- While the crust is baking, whisk together in a separate bowl: 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup key lime juice (freshly squeezed from about 6-8 key limes or bottled), 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon lime zest.
- Pour the filling evenly over the hot, partially baked crust.
- Bake for an additional 18-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and no longer jiggles.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- For the frosting, whisk together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened; 2 cups powdered sugar; and 2 tablespoons key lime juice until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled bars.
- Garnish with lime zest before serving.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the bars to set completely.
